[edit] Place of birth
According to the article, the two numbers immediately after the date of birth in the IC number is the place of birth. I was just wondering - on my IC, it's 56 and I'm born in Kuala Lumpur (Hospital Besar Kuala Lumpur), yet the article states the number is 14.Rajan Rishayakaran 07:38, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- KLites usually get number 14. I am not sure about your situation though.--Zack2007 08:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- Could be that the system ran out of 14's? For example, 71 ran out of numbers around the year 1998 or 1999, and IC holders born in US, UK, etc. are now assigned 91. Snow cat 05:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- I don't believe that the list of BP in the article is complete. Update anyone? --Pavithran 20:03, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Brunei
"From January 2003, MyKad was available to citizens of Brunei."
The above statement is incorrect. Actually, MyKad is the name of the Malaysian Identification card. In Brunei, this Identification card is called 'Kad Pengenalan Pintar,' meaning 'Smart Indentification Card.' This was introduced in BRunei in 2000 but making it possibly the 1st country in the world to introduce it. Phases of upgrading the old identification card to the new ones were done from August 2000 to September 2001 were done and by January 2002, all of the Identication Cards are of the new 'Kad Pengenalan Pintar.'
But the gov't here in brunei didn't make huge fuss about it and didn't wanna proudly declare that they are the 1st country to implement it in the world. Only in 2005, only that Frequent border crossers Malaysians can enter Brunei using the My KAd
- A reference would be helpful

- The article seems to imply that the Kad Pengenalan Pintar is compatible with MyKad (ie the same card issued by a different government). Is this accurate or is Kad Pengenalan Pintar an entirely different card? Robert Brockway 18:30, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Religion
- Information on race and religion is included in the MyKad although they are only stored on the chip, and are not physically printed. There have been numerous errors, of up to 25% in one church congregation, in the religion field, leading to speculation of a conspiracy to mark non-Muslim cardholders as Muslim[1]. Those whose religion had been recorded incorrectly might have had to pay a fee, or undergo tedious negotiations including the production of baptismal certificates or other letters, to fix their information. In December 2005, the government apologized for the problems caused and attempted to rectify the correction procedure by providing a single form, Form A. The main cause of the problem was probably that, depending on the way one applied for the MyKad, such information was not always entered.
I was under the impression it was printed if you were a Muslim (which was one of the biggest problems). Also, is it true that race (I assume Chinese, India, Malay or Other) and religion (meaning other then Muslim or not) is included on the chip? If it's just Muslim/non-Muslim and/or if it's printed on the card, this needs to be corrected/clarified. Nil Einne 18:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
It is not true that only Malay Muslim has their religion printed on the front side of MyKad. Other race which their religion is Muslim is also printed with their religion info on the front side of MyKad. Other information such as religion other than Islam, race, surname, passport number, driving licence information, bank number information, voters locality (which is not active yet), health information (currently used in Selayang and Putrajaya hopital only) is recorded inside the chip.
[edit] Blood type
See Talk:National identification number for why it's unlikely blood type has anything to do with the number Nil Einne 12:33, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bias towards current identification card
It occurs to me too much emphasis is given towards a card system that was only introduced very recently during the 2000s. In comparison to the original IC said to be introduced in 1949, this is rather bias towards present registration systems. For that reason, wouldn't it be a good idea to rename this article to "Identity documents in Malaysian" (per "Identity documents in the United States"), write some on the MyKad's precedences (particularly the cards' design, regulations, numbering) and other identity documents (driver's license, birth certificate and passport), and converting the current contents of this article into a section? - Two hundred percent 10:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
